NiTED STATES JOHN SHEEDY, OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.

ELECTRIC LAMP.

Application filed May 27, 1924. Serial No. 716,195.

To all 1071 am it may concern:

Be it known that I, J 011x SHEEDY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Seattle, in the county of King and State of ashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in an Electric Lamp, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relatesto new and useful improvements in electric lamps and has for its principal object to provide a device of the character above described which includes a means for supporting the lamp shade in various vertically adjusted positions.

A further object of the invention is to provide an electric lamp of the above mentioned character, wherein means is provided for preventing the accidental displacement of the lamp shades after the same has been moved to the desired position.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a device of the above mentioned character, which is simple in construction, inexpensive, strong and durable and furthermore adapted for the purposes for which it is designated.

Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent during the course 01 the following description.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals designate like parts throughout the same:

Figure. 1 is a side elevationot my improved electric lamp with. parts shown in section, and

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken approximately on line 22 of Figure 1.

1n the drawing wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 1 designates a base of my improved electric lamp and extending upwardly from the same is the standard 2. The major upper portion of the standard is provided with the corrugation 3 and the purpose thereof will be presently described. dapted for vertical slidahle movement on the standard is the tubular member 4. the lower end of which is split as illustrated at 5. The tubular mem- 9 her is also provided with corrugations which extend for substantially the full length thereof and the corrugations 6 on the tubular member 4. are adapted to cooperate with the corrugations provided on the standard 2.

The tubular member -l supports at its upper ends the electric lamp socket 7 and the electric lamp 8 in any suitable manner. For the purpose of lighting the electric lamp, I provide a switch 9 on the upper end of the standard which may be of any conventional push button type and. as the same forms no in'iportant part of my present invention, a further detailed description of the same is not thought necessary.

Secured to the upper portion of the tubular member 4 and enclosing the electric lamp Sis the lamp shade 10. The lamp shade maybe of any suitable material and design and I do not wish to limit myself to any particular shape, material or design in the construction of the shade.

.The tubular member 4 and the electric lamps together with the shade 10 may be moved vertically on the supporting standard 2 to any desired position and for the purpose of holding the lower split end of the tubular member in engagement with the standard, I provide a clamping ring 11 which may be formed of wire in the form of a coil spring. This will hold the corrugations 6 in engagement with the corrugations 3 whereby the tubular member and the lamp shade will be supported in thedesired adjusted position and against casual displacement.

Supported on the lower portion of the standard 2 and adapted to rotate thereon is a cabinet 12 which includes a plurality of compartments 13 formed by the radially extending partitions 14, and suitable closures 15 are provided on each of the compartments in the manner more clearly illustrated in Figure 2. The compartments are adapt-d to receive various articles and may be preferably used as a sewing cabinet. The cabinet is rotatably supported on the standard and the usual ball bearings 16 are associated therewith for enabling the same to easily rotate on the standard. The top of the cabinet includes the hinged sections 17 and 18 respectively, the sections being hinged together at their adjacent edges shown at 19.

The electric cord 20 for the electric lamp A is adapted to extend through a suitable opening 21 provided in the lower portion of the standard 2 and extends upwardly therethrough and through the tubular member 4 in the manner clearly illustrated in Figure 2. It will thus be seen from the foregoing description, that an electric lamp has been provided which will not only permit the vertical adjustment of the lamps and the lamp shades but-will also be attractive and further provide a means for supporting a sewing cabinet or the like. The simplicity of my device enables the same to be manufactured at a very low cost and will further be strong and durable.

\Vhile I have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that various changes in the size, shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is v portion of the standard, a tubular member having its lower end slit and receivable on the upper end of the standard, corrugations ing ring, disposed around the lower split end of the tubular member for securing the same in engagement with the standard, electric lamps carried by the upper portion of the tubular member, and a lamp shade carried by the tubular member and extending over 30 the lamp.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

JOHN SHEEDY.
